Let go of the past to create a new future from "summary" of The Book of Mirdad by Mikhail Naimy

The past is but a shadow that haunts the present, a ghost that lingers in the corridors of the mind. It is a heavy burden that weighs down the soul, preventing it from soaring to new heights. To cling to the past is to imprison oneself in a cage of memories, unable to break free and embrace the infinite possibilities of the future. Mirdad teaches us the importance of releasing the past, of letting go of all that no longer serves us. He urges us to unshackle ourselves from the chains of regret and sorrow, from the grip of nostalgia and longing. Only by releasing our hold on the past can we truly move forward and create a new future for ourselves. The past is a closed chapter, a story that has already been written. We cannot change what has happened, no matter how much we may wish it otherwise. By dwelling on the past, we only prolong our suffering, unable to see the beauty and potential that lies ahead. To create a new future, we must be willing to release the past, to forgive ourselves and others for the mistakes and hurts of yesterday. It is only by letting go that we can make space for new beginnings, for fresh opportunities to bloom and flourish. Mirdad reminds us that the present moment is all we truly have. It is a gift, a blank canvas upon which we can paint the future of our choosing. But we cannot paint over the past; we must first wipe the slate clean, releasing all that binds us to what has been. In the act of letting go, we find liberation. We discover the power to shape our destiny, to write a new story for ourselves that is filled with hope, love, and joy. Only by releasing the past can we step into the light of a new day, ready to embrace the infinite possibilities that await us.
